Specialty: good grocers and online How we score

Rarity is our editors’ score for how hard something is to find in the US and how unusual it is to make: availability (supermarket, specialty shop or maker only), production (small-batch, seasonal, foraged) and how unusual the ingredient or method is.

  1. 1 Familiar twist: easy to find, unusual flavour
  2. 2 Specialty: good grocers and online
  3. 3 Uncommon: mostly from the maker or specialty shops
  4. 4 Rare: small-batch, regional or few stockists
  5. 5 Very rare: tiny batches, foraged or one of a kind

What it tastes like

Floral honey up front, then a clean chili warmth that builds at the back of the throat. Sweet, sticky and just spicy enough to make you go back for more.

Why it’s rare

The jar that started the hot honey craze: pure honey infused with real chili peppers, born on a Brooklyn pizza counter before anyone else bottled the idea.

How to use it: Drizzle on pepperoni pizza, fried chicken or a sharp cheddar.
